Ten days later, "Nuns Are Crazy" started filming in San Francisco.

On the day of the start-up, it attracted a lot of attention from the American media. In their eyes, the film is much more newsworthy than "The Silence of the Lambs". The protagonist Whoopi Goldporough is not an idol star, but a powerful movie star, and has won the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress.

With the addition of Chen Ping'an, such a combination and some other new and old actors joined, the strength of "Nuns Are Crazy" on paper far exceeds that of "The Silence of the Lambs".

The reporter's interview is equivalent to free publicity, and Chen Ping'an should give face, but some reporters' questions are not very friendly, questioning him as a director who has just won the Oscar.

"Mr. Chen, when do you expect this drama to be completed, or will it be two months?"

After "The Silence of the Lambs" has been scheduled for release, it has entered the publicity stage.

When the filming of this movie started, it attracted media attention, so they knew very well that Chen Ping'an took two months to shoot this movie.

Anyone who knows a little bit about this has questioned it - too fast!

An excellent movie requires a lot of effort and effort from the director and actors, which is converted into something that is intuitively visible, which is time.

For example, last year's "The Last Emperor" took more than half a year to complete filming, and "Terminator 2", for example, took nearly a year.

You're good. The shooting was completed in two months...... Well, a million investment is not a lot. But you can't be the same as those third-rate directors who only know how to chase profits, you are the director who just won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and made the best picture!

Two days ago, an expert pointed out to the media. Chen Ping'an completely wanted to use the honor he won at the Oscars to rush a movie to finish it as quickly as possible, and then make a lot of money while the Oscars were still warm.

This is a most shameful act!

This point of view was supported by many people, and on the day of the launch, a reporter unceremoniously raised this issue.

"Don't you know that I only made Rain Man for two months?"

Chen Ping'an's answer left the reporters speechless.

Some reporters really don't know, because they don't care, they only pay attention to Chen Ping'an's "The Silence of the Lambs" for two months, and hype it up. "Rain Man" was not considered; But a group of reporters knew very well that they had thought about comparing "Rain Man" with "The Silence of the Lambs", only to find out that Nima's "Rain Man" was also two months ......

In order to ensure the newsworthiness of the topic, they tacitly ignored this matter until Chen Ping'an took the initiative at this moment.

"When I make films, I try to keep the filming time as short as possible for the investors, the actors and the crew, but that doesn't mean I'm cutting corners. My attitude towards cinema. The actors I've worked with and the staff I've worked with should be clear. ”

"So you're also optimistic about the Silence of the Lambs?"

"For a director, the movies he directs are like his own children, and what parent would think that their children are bad?"

"Think 'The Silence of the Lambs' is compared to 'Rain Man'. Which one are you more optimistic about? ”

"The two films have different themes, but I think they are the same. Maybe next year's Oscars will prove what I say today. Well, you can write it down. Published in tomorrow's newspaper, do you need me to repeat it again? ”

His ridicule reporters didn't care. But this sentence will definitely appear in tomorrow's newspaper, with a slight change and extension. can become "Oriental people are ambitious, "The Silence of the Lambs" sword pointed to the Oscars of the next year" and the like.

Speaking of discipline, Hong Kong reporters are similar to Western journalists, perhaps because of the bad habits of this industry, and entertainment journalists with discipline can basically starve to death.

Chen Ping'an can naturally guess the little abacus in the hearts of these reporters, but he doesn't care, the reporter's extension is indeed his original intention, "The Silence of the Lambs" is the film he set to prepare to hit next year's Oscars.

The reporter has gained a lot and is in a good mood, and the following interview about "Nuns Are Crazy" is much kinder.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the film involves religion, rising to the spiritual level, which is not an ordinary height, and no one dares to joke about religion casually.

……

"Who can name all the apostles?"

At St. Anthony's College, the nuns were giving lessons to the children, and almost all the students raised their hands high, and the nun ordered De Laureth.

The young De Laureth replied with a bright smile, "John, Paul, George, and Ringer......"

The students burst into laughter, and the older nuns were full of anger. This is the fourth son of the Beatles, and he has nothing to do with the apostles!

"De Lowres, you're the least rude in school!"

……

Filming is underway for "The Nun Is Crazy," a clip from the teenage years of De Laures, the heroine played by Whoopi. The school was contacted with the help of a priest from the Catholic Church of St. Paul's, and the actor who played De Laures as a teenager was Whoopi's niece.

That night, Chen Ping'an and He Chaoqiong went to Whoopy's house for dinner, and met this little girl, who was a little similar to Whoopy, and the most rare thing was that she had a very cheerful personality, so Chen Ping'an gave her this role directly.

For this reason, the Ubi family is even more grateful to Chen Ping'an.

It may be that Whoopi has specially taught her niece to act in private, and she performed very well, and this shot is also very smooth, and it is easy to get through.

Chen Ping'an's attitude towards filming is very serious, and He Chaoqiong finally realized that it is not easy to be an assistant of herself. Chen Ping'an didn't treat her as the daughter of the gambling king at all, as if she was just an ordinary assistant, calling her around......

Well, the word "snoring and drinking" may be inappropriate, Chen Ping'an's attitude is still relatively kind, that is, when He Chaoqiong is in a hurry and makes the same mistake many times, he will be blamed.

This is something He Chaoqiong has never experienced.

I want her to be the daughter of the gambling king, born with a golden key. Good family background, beautiful person, high education, Hong Kong socialite. How many people pursued her, and in the past two days, she was actually instructed by Chen Ping'an......

Even if I offered to be an assistant. Can't you bully people like that!

Didn't I just accidentally forget where to put your script? Even if you forget it a few times, you can't do that to me!

Finally, during a break, Chen Ping'an asked He Chaoqiong to go out to buy cigars, which completely ignited the latter's anger.

"You're not going to think of me as your servant, are you?"

In the end, it is a celebrity, in the end, it is a lady, even if He Chaoqiong has a fire in her belly, she will not scold the street like a shrew, and even her voice is not loud. But the tone and expression can make everyone feel her dissatisfaction.

"You said you were going to be my assistant. What, repentant? ”

"That's right, but that's an assistant, not a servant!"

"Is there a difference?" Chen Ping'an smiled, "It's not accurate to say that a servant is an assistant, an assistant is equivalent to a nanny, and what needs to be done is not only assistance in work, but also all chores." No matter how trivial it is, as long as it is what I ask, you will complete it. ”

"Then do you want me to go to bed with you at night like other actresses?" He Chaoqiong was really angry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have uttered such a gaffe. Fortunately, she also knows how to control her voice, if she lets others hear it. Not only is it embarrassing, but it is also likely to cause unnecessary reverie.

Chen Ping'an looked her up and down: "To be honest." You're pretty too, but I'm not hungry yet. You remember. Assistant is not a trivial job, you meet me is good, at least when I am in a bad mood, I will not vent my anger at you. And the things I asked you to do are definitely the assistant's job. ”

"Including coffee for you?"

"Didn't I see when I was discussing the script with Whoopi? Forget it, it's not easy for you to hold on for days. I'll call the company later and ask them to send me another assistant, so you don't have to do it. Anyway, you have also seen the preliminary preparations for the movie and the preparation for the start-up, including the shooting process, etc., you have more or less understanding, which is enough for you to invest in a movie. ”

Hearing that Chen Ping'an was going to replace himself, He Chaoqiong quit: "Am I like the kind of person who gives up halfway!" ”

This woman is really hard to understand!

In this way, He Chaoqiong continues to play the role of an assistant, busy and tired half to death every day, not only as an assistant to the director, but also as Chen Ping'an's personal secretary.

As the days go by, the most she hates every day is to get up in the morning, and her favorite sound to hear is "call it a day". Every night when she returned to the hotel, she wanted to throw herself straight to bed and never get up again.

This night was filmed at night, and it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening when the work was finished, He Chaoqiong dragged his tired body back to the hotel, and after entering the door, he threw away his coat and fell on the bed.

A feeling of soreness and fatigue spread all over her body, and she was born delicately, if she hadn't been angry with Chen Ping'an, she would have been unable to hold on for a long time.

This assistant is simply not done by a person!

It's not that Chen Ping'an deliberately made things difficult for her, I think that before Chen Ping'an's soul was pierced, almost all assistants in various positions in the filming of a drama were done, which time was not like a grandson who was picked up and slipped back and forth?

This is the entertainment industry, if you can't reach a certain height and can't have a certain status, don't talk about dignity, especially if you are an assistant.

At that time, when Chen Ping'an was dry, he didn't feel how tired and bitter he was, the key is that He Chaoqiong can't compare with him from the grassroots, and he has suffered so many sins before?

This guy is so hateful!

Lying on the bed, He Chaoqiong thought fiercely, don't you say that he is the best boyfriend, how can you not understand the pity of the jade?

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?" He Chaoqiong asked weakly.

"Me."

It's Chen Ping'an's voice!

He Chaoqiong didn't know where to get the strength, so she sat up from putting on her clothes and quickly straightened her hair and clothes in front of the mirror. Although she doesn't have any feelings for Chen Ping'an, as a celebrity and an exquisite woman, she should maintain a graceful demeanor in front of any outsider, right?

Expressionlessly, he opened the door: "What's the matter with you?"
